1. Is DE the national code, or the language code?
Of course it should be the language code. But the large character
makes me confused.
So which one will we use? DE or De(KO or Ko)?
(In fact, correct code for language is 'de', not 'De' neither 'DE')
There has been some discussion about this in the past. The Wiki engine
sets the first character in the Wiki article name to be a capital
letter. There are ways to force it to start with a lower case character
but it is a workaround and not a good solution.
Using all capital letters is what we have been using on pages that are
already starting to migrate to this Wiki article naming convention.
- You can use Google to search inside a specific language group
2. For l10n of documents, it has the address like this, doesn't?
en : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/TCM
de : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/DE/TCM
ko : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/KO/TCM
Yes, that would be correct.
3. Every L10n pages link each other through interwiki linking.
So you mean tags such as
[[en:TCM]]
[[de:DE/TCM]]
[[ko:KO/TCM]]
Yes, that is correct. We can use Templates to manage the interwiki
links - makes it easier to add/remove languages and translations to the
link tables. This can be explained in a separate email.
4. What's about the native non-english pages?
How shall we make the name? Using their own language such as
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/KO/블라블라
or
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/KO/blabla?
The Wiki articles can be named in whatever language they are started in.
The only Wiki pages we need to think about using English page names for
all translations, are the Wiki books and FAQs, HowTos etc in teh
Documentation subpages. These pages are a special case. Localized page
names for the Wiki books etc. can be implemented through the
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Custom page title}} Wiki syntax.
If we create a unique page with non-english lanuage, we'll make THREE
pages for it.
1. the original page : name using our own language : our people isn't
familiar with english.
2. redirect page : name using Enlish
3. same page in english (But we don't need to fill this page)
The redirect is not required. The original page would only need to be
located within (to use the Korean example) /KO/ subpages. If there is a
translation of content to English or any other language, then we
translate the Wiki article name as well. The only special case I can
think of is for the Wiki articles mentioned above (Wiki books etc in the
Documentation subpages).
5. Will you make a table of content for english pages?
Do you mean an overall table of contents indexing all English pages? I
haven't thought that far ahead. A general TOC for all pages in a single
language is a big job, and I am not sure how we could do something like
that. it is something we could think about though... maybe there is a
good Wiki extension that helps manage a site map or TOC... I can look
into it.
